Comments

In general, a sequence of the form a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (k+x+3)!/(k+x)! will have a closed form of n/4 * (n + 5 + 2*x)*(n^2 + 5*n + 2*x*n + 10 + 2*x^2 + 10*x). - Gary Detlefs, Aug 10 2010

Formula

From R. J. Mathar, Mar 21 2010: (Start)

a(n) = 6*A063258(n).

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5).

G.f.: 6*(x-2)*(x^2 - 2*x + 2)/(x-1)^5. (End)

From Gary Detlefs, Aug 10 2010: (Start)

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (k+3)*(k+2)*(k+1), with offset 0.

a(n) = (n/4)*(n+5)*(n^2 + 5*n + 10), with offset 0. (End)

E.g.f.: (1/4)*(96 + 240*x + 120*x^2 + 20*x^3 + x^4)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 25 2016
